The photos went viral and came with a message that said, "Dries Mertens training in Ola Aina's jersey was the last thing I thought I'd see on this Earth."

Mertens and Aina crossed paths in the Italian Serie A over the last two season.

Mertens featured for Napoli in attack while Aina was part of the Torino defense that had the task of stopping the Belgian.

Aina and Mertens crossed paths previously as in 2017 they had dinner together.

Mertens and Aina had lunch with Nathaniel Chalobah, Nathan Ake and Ola Aina in Naples.

Back then Mertens was linked with Chelsea and now wearing Aina's jersey has sparked rumours of joining Torino.
